Only tried to-go so far and loved everything we ordered. Food tastes fresh and not greasy at all. All the meats we ordered were flavored well and cooked perfectly. Their hummus, baba ganoush and rice were great too. Definitely plan to go back for a sit down meal.

Ordered the falafel wrap and it was great! Very tasty falafel balls and the garlic sauce was yummy too. My friend and I shared the garlic fries with feta and they were delicious. Service was fine. The restaurant wasn't busy. Food was piping hot. The booths are GIANT! Comfortable seats and a spare, clean space.

This place is amazing! I was not sure what to expect, however, I was happily surprised. The food was terrific and the people were incredibly nice. The staff seems to truly care about you liking the food. Best Chicken Shawarma!!! A total neighborhood gem!

Random find walking from my hotel and glad I stopped in. Ordered the small baba ghanoush and it was delicious and the portion was a regular portion in other places. Great flavor with garlic and little chunks of eggplant. Also got the gyro pita and a rib eye skewer. Gyro was flavorful and massive and the tzatziki was very flavorful as well. The rib eye skewer was good also. Service was great and the restaurant has nice open and clean feel.

Stopped in to take food to go for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Food tasted great and you can't beat the price. I ordered online and picked it up, and the timing was accurate which is always appreciated when I'm in the middle of the work day. Seems like a cool place to grab food, and sit down with friends. They had a cute set up for a bar and a decent number of seats inside. Parking is tight but seems like more than enough for the size of the restaurant. I had the falafel sandwich with greek fries and it was delicious and very satisfying! My boyfriend tried the hummus with chicken schwarma which came with pita chips. The hummus was think and creamy, chicken on top was perfect. Will definitely be back!

I had a good experience at The Palms. The staff were all pleasant. The restaurant was clean and well cared for. I tried shrimp kabob with a side of Greek fries. Both were hot and a clear representative of Mediterranean cruise. Yum! The tea was different, yet good! I 'll be back to try other items. Table service. Pick up available. Accessible parking and entrance.

Thank you Yelp for bringing us to this restaurant. There were 8 of us that arrived at 4pm. It looks like the place used to be a pizza place. (There is a very expensive pizza oven in the corner.) it's very clean and the server was friendly. I was unable to to get pictures of all items ordered - Shrimp Kebab, Hummus w/ Beef Shawarma. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals. The chicken Shawarma was dry, probably the only thing that was wrong with any of the meals. There's a slow amount of foot traffic in & out but steady throughout the time we were there.
